Chinese National Anthem

I had to listen to this every day when I was attending a local school in Shanghai. It drives you sick after a while. It was written during the Civil War against the Kuomintang by a bunch of peasants. It is basically a war march, done at a fairly quick pace. Not as solemn as the Russian one, but you can add just as much patriotic rhetoric to it (as seen in the 1960's with the Red Guards). Actually not a bad ditty. I find the American one rather plain. Who is that Jose anyways?

Here's the lyrics in Chinese and my translation. I think the title is "Arise!", but I'm not sure. Nobody refers to it by name any more, only as "the anthem".
